Hello guys,
I have an AMD Ryzen 5 2400G processor and use the iGPU
The motherboard has a HDMI and a Display Port output.
I’ve connected the HDMI output to a receiver (Pioneer) and that is connected to the TV and 4 speakers (two in front, two in behind).
I’d like to make use of all four speakers, but Pulse audio/pavucontrol tells me that just stereo is available and 5.1, 7.1 surround is only available for HDMI2, which isn’t even a connection on my mainboard, but I guess it refers to the DP output.
Still, I’d like to use the entire speaker configuration, which works with VLC when telling it to use ALSA and then it works.
But every other program does not.
I found out that I have to configure ALSA to be used instead of PulseAudio, but I haven’t found a way that actually works, I just almost lost my audio and I don’t want to break it completely.
I’ve already searched the Internet and this forum, but didn’t find a solution yet.
So I hope, you can help me.
Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
Tobi_Peter
